9.1 Safety instructions
Note: Accessories:
When planing, additionally support workpieces that are longer than the feeder- and receiver-sides (by using
e.g. table extensions, roller supports)
Keep tools for handling short and narrow workpieces close at hand. (e.g. wooden pushing stick, push block)
Warning! Risk of injury! Improper operation may lead to severe physical injury or material damage. For this
reason, this work may only be carried out by authorised, trained personnel who are familiar with how to

away may be the cause of accidents!
• Ensure that all the planer knives are sharp (minimises
the kickback risk).
• Ensure that all clamping screws on the knife holders
are securely tightened (minimum tightening torque:
20 Nm).
• Ensure that the individual kickback guards are free to
move and that they fall back into their initial position
after having been raised.
• Install the dust extraction system according to the
instructions and test its function.
• Only machine workpieces that can be safely placed
